Reasons for Thinking That Albert
 Sidney Johnston Was Killed by a
 Private.
 From the Chicago ILter-Oceanl
 AS Q general rule the most impartial per sonality that ever got acquainted with is bullet in battle. It is perfectly democratic and fair, recognizing neither rank, station, age nor quality. There are some exceptions to this rule, as for instance when 8 bullet is directly aimed at some conspicuous officer and fetches him. I think it was a special bullet that killed Albert Sldney Johnston, and the reason why think so is this
 In the Shiloh fight Pughs brigade, to which belonged, was strung along the rail fence, having the cotton field and peach or chard between it and the Confederate line. Across this field and orchard the enemy made three or four magnificent charges, and was terribly repulsed each time. Captain Johnston, the son of the general, frankly acknowledges those defeats in his account of the battle contained in the biography of his father. These repulses caused much demor- alization in the ranks of the Confederates, but after 8 while we could see that their line was re- established in good shape. Then we saw the general riding slowly down the front while the men cheered him with good deal of enthusiasm. We all supposed that Gene ral Beauregard was in command of the ene- my, for General Johnston's name was not fa- miliar to us and Beauregard's was. As he passed along the line our boys said to each other: ''That's Beauregard! That's Beaure- gard!'
 Just at that moment a tall, gaunt fellow in a state of intense nervous excitement, and carrying his gun at the "trail, tried to break through the line where I was, with the in tention of climbing over the fence toward the enemy. I challenged him sharply:
 s'What do you want herea What regiment do you belong to!"
 Fifteenth Illinois,
 "Go back to your regiment; you have no business here. Go back"
 "Oh, don't stop me-" he said ''let me go. I want that man on that horse."
 Before I could prevent him he had broken through and sealed the fence. I watched him zigzagging along from tree to tree until he reached the log house about the center of the field. This brought him very near the enemy, and if he took rest for his gun on the window-sill the man on horseback would certainly be in peril. I never saw that sol dier again, but for twenty-five years I have held firmly to the opinion that he got "that man on the horse.'
 It is evident from the accounts that Gene ral Johnston was wounded several minutes before he fell, but did not think the matter serious even if he knew it at all. He had been slowly bleeding to death for some time, and when at last he tainted it was teo late to save him.

 New York merchant finds by cempari- son of the old and new freight rates of the fast lines that the increase of freight rates occasioned by the new federal law will amount to more than the whole sum of the tariff du- ties collected by the government.

CHEWING GUM.

Men, as w ell as Women, Use 1t In Large
 Quantities.
 From the Brooklyn Citizen.
 I asked the cashier question, says writ CT in the Brooklyn Citizen. He sat in re- ceipt of tribute at the desk of bustling, crowded restaurant not many miles from the City Hall, which is patronized by the active business men of one of the Iveliest regions of the metropolis. A woman is hardly ever seen at it's tables, and a boy very rarely. In other words, it's customers are almost exclusively male adults. Distributed around the cashiers desk, wing with the cigars in the solicitation of patronage, I saw piles of boxes of chewing gum of various brands, handsomely labeled. My question was:
 "Who buys the chewing gum!"
 tOur customers"
 sfDo you mean that men buy such a thinga" & box day, but the demand is falling oil little lately"
 .sWhatunder the canopy do grown men want with such childish article!"
 ssWell good many buy it as substitute for tobacco. It helps them to break off the habit of chewing the weed. Others use it as 8 preseryative of the teeth and some think it is an aid to digestion"
 His reply surprised me. box of gum, as saw by inspection of the label, contains one hundred and twenty sticks, neatly wrap ned in a satin stamped tin-foil. Here was evidence that over hundred men in one part of the city were given to the daily use of the article. Each stick is divided into five cakes, like chocolate bar, and each cake is intended for one ''chew.'' The res- taursnt, while well patrenized, is by no means large one. If the chewing gum is sold in anything like the same proportions elsewhere throughout the city, there must be thousands of men of sober age and sedate character who are wagging their jaws daily like so many school children. am told that there are probably twenty varieties of chewing gum in the market, such is the demand for it. The old fashioned :.Black Jack" is used by youngsters, but the fancy brands with such poetical titles as "Pot Pourri, Consolation, !" E'Heartsease" and the like are affected by adults of both sexes. The mania looks like a step backward toward our ancestral rumina nt prototypes.

But the woman remained, and as she stood before the governor she said: 'I am the only friend he has in the world. My life has been wrapped up in him. I be- lieye in him and have loved him through all these long, weary years, and want you to pardon him." She did not wait to hear his excellency speak.

HOMESPuNS AND CHEVI0TS.

It is not unusual for us to have what the people want-we have it all the time-but the first particular mention of Homespuns and Cheviots at the exceptionally low prices brought buyers quick to see. The Home spuns have many wearers. They are inex- pensive, cool, careless, and yet add all the refinement that any outdoor -business-pleas- ure suit can. Many Homespun serves one season light and the next dark. They do not wear out
 The Cheviots are Scotch in manufacture. What is true of the Homespuns is true of the Cheviots. In both are many desirable colorg and mixtures -intermingling of many colors that give Scotch suits one of their many charms. They, both Homespuns and Chev- iots, will rub against most anything and re- tire undimmed. Fourteen styles embrace the leading patterns worn. Sacks and frooks to suit long and short men-in person or pocket. The manufacture could be no bet ter. Prices $15, $17, SIS, $2O, $22. Children's suits are made from the same kind of goods, and the prices range equally low. The s5 suit is perhaps the great exem- plar of economical suits for boys. Other suits for men, $6.5O to $50. Other suits for boys, $1 to s20. Mems Trousers, $1 to $8. Boys Trousers, 25c to S5. Shirt Waists, 25c to $2. 50.
